Considering the emerging educational paradigm, there is a pressing need for reform in acupuncture education.
We uses the acupuncture education at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine as a case to delineate the challenges encountered in current theoretical and practical teaching of acupuncture and proposes viable solutions.
In theoretical teaching, there should be an emphasis on classical theories integrated with modern scientific theories to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the classical theories. As for practical training, endeavors should be made to enhance clinical application and leverage virtual reality technology to optimize training outcomes.
Through cross-disciplinary knowledge integration and the utilization of modern technology, there exists a positive significance for both the inheritance and innovative development of acupuncture, as well as for acupuncture education and talent cultivation.
鉴于新兴的教育范式，针灸教育改革迫在眉睫。
我们以北京中医药大学的针灸教育为例，阐述当前针灸理论与实践教学中遇到的挑战，并提出可行的解决方案。
在理论教学方面，应强调将经典理论与现代科学理论相结合，以更全面地理解经典理论。在实践培训方面，应努力加强临床应用，并利用虚拟现实技术优化培训效果。
通过跨学科知识整合和现代技术的应用，对针灸的传承与创新发展以及针灸教育和人才培养具有积极意义。
